Looking for materials about meshing of geometry for FDTD analysis

Hello everyone,

I am working on designing a low level software for FDTD analysis of arbitrary geometry and I am having problems with meshing of the geometry. Please, if any one can help me get this materials and upload, I will be very grateful.

"Fast Collision Detection of Moving Convex Polyhedra", Rich Rabbitz,
[Gems IV], pages 83-109, includes source in C.

SOLID: "a library for collision detection of three-dimensional objects undergoing rigid motion and deformation. SOLID is designed to be used in interactive 3D graphics applications, and is especially suited for collision detection of objects and worlds described in VRML. Written in standard C++, compiles under GNU g++ version 2.8.1 and Visual C++ 5.0." See: http://www.win.tue.nl/cs/tt/gino/solid/



You can also use the marching-cubes algorithm, if the extraction of surfaces from the data set is easy to do (see Subject 5.10).
